My Villains Episode 036

10. Basement 4th floor⑴

A narrow room with the dim light of a halogen bulb and a gloomy cold air.

My tailbone is throbbing.

Oh, the chair is so uncomfortable.

“When was the last time you saw your nephew?

peel?”

“What kind of conversation did you have with Ms. Han Ji-won before we parted ways?”

“Was there anything memorable about you?”

I don’t know.

You don’t know, you bastards. I don’t remember anything.

Everyone turn a blind eye, please.

I want to go home. I want to cover myself with a blanket and hide.

Short ringtone.

The text that appeared on the screen was – Return to school? Huh, you sound like a dog.

Sigh.

Ah, that sound again. It’s something I don’t want to hear.

The sound of drying blood.

Let’s grease the hinges.

uh?

“Hey, Seungsu Kim.”

“sister?”

“Seungsu Kim.”

“••••••sister.”

“this person-”

The stars are twinkling.

and.

My sister, you are still young. The taste is alive.

“Honey, stop.”

“Let go! Well, I knew it would happen like this someday! “I will kill you!”

“It’s not your brother-in-law’s fault, please.”

“It’s not just once or twice, but it happens every time I get involved with that! “How can it not be my fault!”

“stop! Let’s go out first. Brother-in-law, I will contact you later.”

No, brother. It’s my fault.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Heaven and earth turn over.

A mattress with a flowing blanket and a computer desk with photos on it.

My familiar room.

No, you’re used to it?

There’s no way I’m used to living in my own room as soon as I’m discharged from the military.

I dragged a notepad file and placed it in the center of the empty desktop.

Alt tab.

An angelic face with gorgeous blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes.

The girl who has not yet bloomed becomes blurred by the water.

Jiwon, I’m sorry.

My trembling hand fumbles with the brace support. The knot is completed beyond my blurred vision.

“Sorry. I’m really sorry.”

Muttering like an idiot.

I kicked the chair.

“Ugh.” I jumped up as if I had been struck by lightning and quickly looked around.

It was a narrow room.

A cloth with the sound of chirping birds, a bed with damp straw sticking out, luggage neatly arranged in a corner, the faint smell of burnt coal, and a window through which pale early morning sunlight streams in.

And, Ellen, the girl sleeping lazily in the bed across from us.

Looking at his peaceful expression, I naturally let out a sigh of relief.

“Whoa.”

But, uh-why does my head hurt so much? I feel like I had a dream, but I don’t remember anything.

When I see something heavy in my heart… I guess I had a nightmare because of something that happened the day before yesterday.

Did I later feel guilty about the people I killed and the people who died because of me?

A thought occurred to me – perhaps the reason I can’t remember my dreams is because of the character sheet?

After falling into this world, every time I fell asleep, a character sheet would appear in front of my eyes. It was a little different from a dream; my consciousness was clear and my memories were clear.

So, I wonder if other dreams are being erased from my memory because of the character sheet.

Ah, speaking of character sheets reminds me of that.

Thanks to the battle that took place two days ago, I became level 12.

This was really strange. Based on rough calculations, my experience level after leaving the sewer was less than 2,000 at most.

Poison’s experience was 700, no, he would have divided it with Ellen, so he calculated it to be around 420, and even if you add up the experience of the remaining gangsters, it was far less than 3,000.

Considering that the experience required to become level 12 was 3,600, I didn’t have enough experience, which was close to 1000, but my level suddenly increased.

Another strange thing happened.

One point is added for free to the passive skill, ‘flowing blood’.

In addition, by adding additional skill points gained as the level increased, the mastery score for ‘Running Blood’ has already reached 5 points.

Experience points of unknown origin amounting to 1,000 and the automatically strengthened ‘flowing blood’ skill.

These were things that could never happen in a game.

Why on earth did things like this happen?

After thinking about this issue alone, the tentative conclusion I came to was ‘growth through training.’

First of all, experience points.

The reason I expected my current experience to be less than 3,000 was because I only calculated the experience gained from killing.

In other words, sparring with Grania or beating up a gangster were not calculated as experience points.

But looking at how I leveled up, maybe I gained experience points reaching 1000 through those things.

And the ‘flowing blood’ skill.

‘Running Blood’ was the most used skill as it was a passive skill.

In particular, during the battle against poison, the blood in the body was actively controlled to drive out the poison.

Considering that ‘flowing blood’ is a skill that promotes recovery of vitality and controls one’s own blood, I did not know that the skill level had been accumulated through the battle with Poison.

Of course, this is just a guess, and it was not clear exactly why this strange thing happened.

“Besides, I’m not the only one who’s had something strange happen.”

I muttered that and looked at Ellen.

Quietly.

They say there are no angels if you don’t open your mouth.

It would be great if you behaved a little more calmly on a regular basis. Well, there are times when a fierce personality can be helpful, so should I accept it? Still, it would be nice if you spoke a little more politely.

•••I’m not his father, so what are you thinking?

Anyway, Ellen awakened her magic during the bloody battle two days ago. I was curious as to what prompted me to awaken to magic, but that night, my doubts were immediately answered.

The level has risen to 13.

I don’t know the exact mechanism, but it partly reflects the skill points and stat points earned as you level up.

However, the problem is that it was only partially reflected.

What I recorded was 35 stat points and 11 skill points.

However, this time, the only points applied to Ellen as she leveled up were 16 stat points and 6 skill points.

The remaining points were not applied and returned as road extra points.

I immediately took another picture, but just like when we first met, there was no change.

The reason why this happened – and this is just my guess – seems to be that realistically, stats and skills cannot grow explosively overnight.

To use an extreme example to illustrate, what would have happened if I had put all 35 points into strength when I first met Ellen?

Then, my strength stat would have exceeded 20 points, so I had to gain superhuman strength right away.

But is there no way that a teenage girl with a height of about 150 cm could develop such terrifying strength overnight?

In other words, my conclusion was that level-up points should be distributed over time to make realistic changes.

Ellen’s current stats had risen evenly across the board. Strength increased by 3, agility by 1, health by 3, and magic power by 1, and thanks to this, no changes were felt on the outside.

It’s probably because I’ve grown into a synab over time.

Whatever the reason, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. If you level up a few more times in the future, all points will be applied.

And now, Ellen has become a full-fledged wizard who can handle a total of four spells: ‘Flame Arrow’, ‘Flaming Weapon’, ‘Wind Fist’, and ‘Cold Blow’.

Thanks to his magical power score of 22 points, his natural talent, and the training and knowledge he gained at La-Palais Palace, he quickly became accustomed to spells.

Hmm, guy. It has finally shed the stigma of being a wand stand. Of course I’m happy, but I feel sad inside. The taste of teasing was excellent.

I was laughing heartily, remembering Ellen’s prickly appearance.

“Uhmmm.”

Long eyelashes slowly crossed along with a small voice.

The sapphire-like eyes were colored in the morning sunlight and took on a light gray color.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Uh oh—”

Ellen, who had been blinking blankly, was startled and quickly covered her face with her hands.

Then, he immediately shook off the sleepiness that had been hanging around his eyes and let out a loud scream.

“W-what are you doing!”

“If you scream in the morning, you will hurt your neck.”

After listening to me, he coughed several times and cleared his throat.

“Big, big.”

“Wow, that’s nice.”

“Why are you staring at other people’s faces this morning? “You were surprised!”

I yawned and responded honestly to Ellen’s progress.

“I was in a bad mood *sigh* because of the nightmare – but seeing your face put me at ease. So, I was dazed for a while.”

“•••Well, what are you saying? “Are you half asleep?”

The guy pulled up the blanket and covered his face, leaving only his faint voice behind.

“Do you want to sleep more? “You should get up soon.”

“Am I a kid? “It will wake up on its own, so leave it alone.”

What is he saying now. All I can hear is mumbling through the blanket.

I left Ellen alone and put the breastplate and armor on my shoulders, then fastened the rings on my side.

Next, it was time to put on the shoulder armor and add shin guards to the leather boots and tighten the laces. Only then did he shakily stand up from his seat.

Ellen, who was brushing away her messy hair, glanced back at me.

“•••Did you have a nightmare?”

“uh.”

“What nightmare did you have?”

I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head.

“I don’t know. I do not remember.”

“what? “I don’t even remember, so how do I know it’s a nightmare?”

“hmm. “There is such a thing.”

I tightened the shin rest on the other side and continued speaking.

“A dream where I don’t remember the content, but the emotions remain.”

“What is that.”

“I don’t know either. I guess I had a dog dream because I changed my bed. Have you ever done that?”

He writhed under his blanket and changed into a shirt instead of the tunic he had been wearing as pajamas.

Then he swept his hair out of his clothes, thought about it for a moment, and then answered.

“I don’t know about dreams that only contain emotions. “I rarely dream because of meditation.”

“What do you mean by that? “Don’t you dream when you meditate?”

“Meditation is the act of contemplating oneself. Dreams are a phenomenon that occurs when the unconscious seeps into consciousness. “When you meditate, the gap between the unconscious and conscious is reduced, so it is natural that you dream less.” •••Again, you are saying strange things about meditation and contemplation. Danworld, what is it?

“Isn’t that why you get tired from meditating and fall asleep?”

“•••Let’s just not talk.”

The guy shook his head and unfolded his pants.

Hmm. Have you gotten used to that dismissive gaze now? I don’t feel so bad.

“Get out quickly. “Let me change my clothes.”

“hang on. “I need to wear a belt.”

At my answer, Ellen started grumbling for no reason.

“it’s annoying. What is this every time? How long are you going to stick around?”

•••I’ve gotten used to the looking down on me, but that pretty Malbon bird still can’t get used to it.

“Why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden? “When did I stick around?”

“I’m not saying anything – I’m just saying that sharing a room with you is uncomfortable!”

Ha, if anyone hears it, they’ll think I forced myself into my room.

“The second floor burned down, so we don’t have enough rooms, and accidents happen every time we are away, so we decided to stay together.” “But there’s no need to go to this length.”

“Am I doing this for no reason? “Aren’t you doing this because you’re worried?”

When Ellen pouted her lips instead of answering, I sighed and added.

“ha. “If you don’t like it, you can sleep in Grania’s room?”

“•••How can I sleep with those mercenaries? “Do you know what kind of grudge you might have harbored?”

“Why do they hold a grudge against you? Well, then Daria instead.”

Before I could finish speaking, Ellen shouted loudly.

“Don’t even mention the farmer bitch! “Why do you always bring up that bitch’s name?”

“okay okay. So what should I do? “If it’s inconvenient for the two of you, ask Luke to stay with you.”

“no! “I’m a rotten corpse!”

“Hey, aren’t you careful what you say?”

ha.

There are no angels if you just keep your mouth shut. When you open your mouth, it’s very spicy, spicy.

“Why are you being so mean to Mr. Luke?”

“Who brought people in without consulting them? “They brought a strange old man with them from somewhere,”

“stop! “Are you really going to get angry if I tell Luke that he’s a corpse or an old man again?”

“what?”

At that moment, Ellen’s face distorted dynamically.

“Are you siding with that old man now?”

“I’m not taking sides. It means observing basic manners. Also, I told you not to call me old man?”

“What kind of courtesy do you have to a guy who follows doctrines like Yeonggeummun?”

bloke? Is he really crazy?

I paused for a moment, looking down at my anger. Is it possible that Yeonggeummun is not well-received in this world?

“What’s wrong with Yeonggeummun?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? Those who follow Yeonggeummun are all pessimists, steeped in the consciousness of the chosen people, and talk their mouths without any sense of responsibility. Moreover, they are the ones playing with corpses and casting ominous spells.”

“… … Ellen snorted at my rebuttal that Mr. Luke is not a necromancer.

“It’s just the church’s stupid idea that it’s okay as long as you don’t deal with the undead. “My body is seething with evil energy, so you’re saying I’m not a necromancer?”

Um, I didn’t know I would hate it this much… … .

I’m not sure how to answer.

“Okay. Anyway, I’ve decided to accompany you for a while, so be careful what you say. “If you talk to me, you’ll know, but he’s a very nice person.”

“When did I meet you and say you were a good person?”

“You can find out if you just talk to me.”

“aha.”

Ellen raised one eyebrow and nodded.

“So, this is the newly recruited spell user, right?”

“what?”

“Hong, I’m so glad I discovered magic. “I almost got treated like a burden!”

No, why are you talking like that all of a sudden? And you have to speak straight.

“It wasn’t like I was treated like a burden, I was really a burden.”

“… “Can you hear everything?”

“Is that what I told you to listen to?”

“this-!”

The guy was so angry that he bit his lower lip. Then he got up, walked towards me, and kicked me hard in the shin.

“O>|”

He sat down, covering his feet.

I feel it again… This guy seems a bit stupid when he gets angry.

“You, you! “How can you do this to me?”

“what. “You filled it, right?”

Hmm. Seeing you with tears in your eyes makes me feel at peace.

“The shin guards are worth the money. Well, I paid four silver coins, so I need to get this in order.”

“Hey, you idiot-”

“I’ll go down first and wash up, so come down quickly.”

“I’m not going!”

Instead of answering, I left the room with only a sweet smile.

“hey!”

A sharp shout comes from behind.

An excited hum naturally flows out.
